Are you .Gay?

All I know is that I'll most DEFINITELY be making sure to secure my name in this extension.
The last thing is need is (myname).gay showing up first in serps.

This will be the favorite TLD for e-wars between junior high school aged boys.

not.gay should go quick.

Politicians have one more thing to worry about apart from people throwing shoes at them.

What's next -- .sucks? .bites? .a**hole? Or am I giving greedy registries too many bright ideas?

Oh, you have got to be kidding me…

There is no need for this TLD. It has no use. It adds nothing to the World Wide Web.

^ sure it does.....without it we won't be able to tell who's gay or not!

Seriously maybe there should be another committee just to smack ICANN when someone suggests they move forward with extensions like these.

All in favor of allowing .gay to be a new extension say I! [Overseeing Member: SMACK...now sit down and shut up]

Everyone should read the page mellowmasher posted and their logic behind it. As she stated it's umm interesting to say the very least. (Thanks for the link mellow)

This is really stupid. I can see all kinds of issues with this one already.

Why can't gay/straight/bi people just use the same extensions as everyone else?

Brad

this isin't going to be good!

Just get is.gay then you can make all the subdomains you want.

I totally see people abusing this extension.

A disaster waiting to happen. Not to mention I can not think of more than a few dozen keywords that really make sense in that extension.

Brad

Just wait... .black and .jew is around the corner!

I mean do the people starting this extension up not realize that doing it promotes divisiveness? It's like yea, let's resegregate everyone! And that's not even taking into account abuse of the extension, sheesh.

I don't believe it will happen, but it's going to majorly backfire if it does.

Like bmugford pointed out, it's subject to a lot of abuse.

What if someone wanted to promote their point of view that being gay is a sin at a domain like Anti.gay? Are they going to limit free speech?

I mean this makes no sense. I can see generic extensions but this is such a horrible idea.

This is just going to open up a can of worms.

Brad

Some registrars are interested in making money from .gay. As long as they are going to free speech .gay is interesting concept.

Tons of TLD's come up everyday! This is meaningless!

....wonder if there will be a .bollocks ??? :tri:

Pathetic.Hot on the heals of .cm and .co
You guys really going to be suckered into this and fill the pockets of ICANN?

So lame.Another TLD will be announced next week and the week after.Soon there will be 500,then what? People will be so damn confused they will go back to .com

Don't get suckered in.Waste of money.Time to teach ICANN we are not going to fall in to the trap they have laid out again.

Its one big money suck... Rebel!

As a gay man, I don't care for the extension either.

It just looks stupid with most popular keywords due to the fact that the word "Gay" is often
used as the first word when it comes to most keywords "Gay Chat, Gay Dating, etc..", or it
doesn't make sense when you read it to yourself. Granted I'm sure many organizations or
gay people might be interested in the extension, but I don't think enough will care for it to
be passed. Many already have their .com's and other cctld's they use. I don't see the
point of .gay for that reason.

As long as being gay is not made compulsory they can can do what they like, not getting any of my money-don't give them yours either and this and other useless extensions will die the death they deserve.

IM-HO.com

If Harvard has their way, expect a .tran soon enough :D

.dot gay is for the community, not straight people. You have your .com's , and .net's. But this is our own Gay extension, because we are Gay, and we want the world to know that were here, queer, and rule the interwebz. lol

Soon to be a South Park episode, just wait...

And then someone is going to apply for .fag, representing the Film Actor's Guild :lol:

LOL I can see a strike coming and the gay community with picket signs saying "LET .GAY LIVE WE DESERVE AN EXTENSION".

Not sure what to say on this, but hey. More money to be made when I think about it.
